Happy claying

Finally, the whole Saturday to clay. I am so happy to be able to sit down at my table and make something.

The first one is trans. with some metallic powder over raspberry. The color looks mysterious. I will have to explore more with that. Also the metallic powder I used is something new. I have to experiment with that before I can tell you more.

Next are the snake skin over different color base beads. I will make more of those for sure.

The third one is the pendent and matching beads using the technique I learn from our French Polymer Clay friend. They will turn into a necklace one of these days.

I also have the Black& White beads in the oven. A nice lady who lives in Kansas but comes here to visit her fiance, always takes all of my Black&White beads. May be she will be here next week. I better be prepared.

My friend who sells beads for me had booked 9 beads shows around the Midwest. She wants my beads so I better get busy, busy and busy.

I also have a new idea for my new collection. I hope you come back and see them. Scott had been a big support these days. He is coming next week with his flowers.

Neo is up and walking well. He still drags his feet a little bit. Thanks for asking about him.

I will visit my niece tomorrow. Then will hurry back because it is DH"s Birthday. We might go out to eat or go to Rib Festival. Yum, yum. Have a nice Holiday everyone.

I gave the snakeskin bead a go, if you would like to see it, it is on my websiteat the bottom of the page. There are also other beads/projects that I have made. Thank you for showing us your clay projects on this site, it has helped me a lot :)

It didn't come out as translucent as I had hoped - the colour underneath is a dark green (Sculpey string bean). Are your very bright ones made by substituting the translucent clay for the colour of your choice, but still having the white around the edge?

I bought the tropical necklace at the Feast of Lanterns; a WONDERFUL piece! Wore it next day with a lime green jacket and got many comments. The detailed flower collage on the pendant works so well with the plainer solid-and-metallic polymer beads and the added glass and stone ones. Your beads are great; thanks for the opportunity to wear them!

P.S. These days, I spend most of my time taking care of my daughter, Ada who was in a car accident on March, 2008. I haven't posted here for a while but will try to share my work here again, as much as I can.

My other blogs

Me, myself and I

I started making Polymer clay beads in 2005. I sold my first batch and started sending them out to the bead stores and bead shows. I started a blog to share my experieces with polymer clay and started a tutorial blog to show how I make some of my beads.
